### CONTENTS:

* **/Advanced Synthesis Cookbook/**   - useful code from Altera's cookbook
* **/KCPSM6_Release9_30Sept14/**    - Xilinx's Picoblaze soft processor
* **/pacoblaze-2.2/**   - version of Picoblaze adapted for Altera devices

* **Main_tb.v**   - basic testbench template

* **compile.tcl**   - tcl script to configure and run Modelsim compilation without need to create simulation project manually

* **ActionBurst**   - multichannel one-shot triggering module
* **ActionBurst2**    - multichannel one-shot triggering with variable steps module
* **bin2pos**   - converts binary coded value to positional (one-hot) code
* **clk_divider**    - wide reference clock divider
* **debounce**    - two-cycle debounce for input buttons
* **dynamic_delay**    - dynamic delay for arbitrary input signal made on general-purpose trigger elements
* **edge_detect**    - edge detector, gives one-tick pulses on every signal edge
* **encoder**   - digital encoder input logic module
* **fifo**    - single-clock FIFO buffer (queue) implementation
* **NDivide**   - primitive integer divider
* **lifo**   - single-clock LIFO buffer (stack) implementation
* **leave_one_hot**   - leaves only lowest hot bit in vector
* **PulseGen**    - generates pulses with given width and delay
* **pos2bin**   - converts positional (one-hot) value to binary representation
* **reset_set**    - SR trigger variant w/o metastable state, set dominates here
* **reverse_vector**    - reverses signal order within multi-bit bus
* **set_reset**    - SR trigger variant w/o metastable state, reset dominates here
* **spi_master**    - universal spi master module
* **delay**    - static delay for arbitrary input signal made on Xilinx`s SRL16E primitives. Also serves as input synchronizer, a standard way to get rid of metastability issues
* **UartRx**    - straightforward yet simple UART receiver implementation for FPGA written in Verilog
* **UartTx**    - straightforward yet simple UART transmitter implementation for FPGA written in Verilog
* **UartRxExtreme**   - extreme minimal UART receiver implementation for FPGA written in Verilog
* **UartTxExtreme**   - extreme minimal UART transmitter implementation for FPGA written in Verilog


Also added testbenches for selected modules
